Episode 178: Do you really want to hear old stories (9)

The black blood demon was embarrassed.

The state of Ilakhyeon is a first-class play. He could be said to be a person who stood at the top of the class.

It may seem grandiose to say it this way, but being a top-notch play ultimately meant that it did not reach its peak.

And the black blood demon is an expert in fireworks. There were three huge, insurmountable walls between Ilryu and Hwagyeong.

Not one, not two, but three.

Only when a first-class martial artist crossed the wall of climax, the wall of transcendence, and the wall of flower world, was it possible to become equal to the black blood demon.

Considering that the wall of enlightenment becomes harder as it goes backwards, it could be said that there was a mountain-like difference between Ilakhyeon and the Black Blood Demon.

Overcoming the gap, Ilakhyeon cut off the black blood demon’s left arm.

The egg broke the rock.

“What is that bastard?”

The black blood demon growled with bloodshot eyes. He probably never imagined that a top-notch martial artist would cleanly cut off his arm.

There is a saying that it is the body of the mind. Only by unifying the mind and body can one advance to a higher state. This is like common sense among the martial arts people.

The heart is literally the heart. Only when the mind is strong can a practitioner move forward on the right path without being swayed by the mind demon.

The body is literally the body. Only when the body is strong can a practitioner begin the work of a 100-year cause.

Gi has two meanings.

Qi (技) and Qi (氣).

Usually, the two are used interchangeably, but in the end, they are not completely the same.

For your information, Ilakhyeon did not have any of the above talents.

The core body was not a completely individual element. They complement each other, help each other, and create a synergistic effect.

If the body is lacking, the core will also be lacking. The mind is ultimately trapped in a prison called the body.

If you lack energy, no matter how strong your body is, it is meaningless. In the end, humans are creatures that develop technology and eat higher beings.

Therefore, it was very important to develop the core body uniformly, but unfortunately, Ilakhyeon was unable to do so.

Ilakhyeon’s body was ordinary. This means that it was not like a body sent from heaven.

It was okay up to this point. Among the martial arts experts, there were many who did not have excellent physical strength.

However, Ilakhyeon went even further and lacked the talent of energy. It’s also horrendous.

Murim people are superhumans. Those who use powers that surpass humans. That was the martial arts people, and at the basis of it was the power of inner strength.

In other words, Ilakhyeon, who could not utilize his internal energy well, was just like the path to becoming an adept was blocked from the beginning.

Normally, I give up in situations like that. Not having talent means being less efficient, and there was no reason to hold on to a job that was less efficient than others.

But Ilakhyeon was different.

I didn’t give up.

I found a way. He studied all means to penetrate the higher realms.

Among them, those that are realistically impossible are excluded. The element of luck is also excluded. It eliminates all absurd possibilities that eating perennial snow ginseng will improve your constitution.

It leaves only the possibility that can be achieved through one’s own efforts.

A few options remain. Although all of them seemed difficult and difficult, Ilakhyeon chose the one that seemed to have the most potential.

The choice to train one’s skills and reach a higher level with only technique.

Collect martial arts. Learn martial arts. Disassemble all the martial arts you have learned so far and put them back together.

It was still not enough to break through the climax wall.

Collect martial arts again. Learn martial arts. I don’t care if the martial arts accumulated in that way are at best third-rate or second-class martial arts. Disassemble all the martial arts you have learned so far, put them back together, and transform them anew.

Nevertheless, it was still not enough to break through the climax wall.

Do not give up. Repeat the above actions infinitely.

It worked. The faint dark energy gradually becomes stronger. Just like that of a peak master.

I have a feeling that if I go just a little further, with just a little bit of enlightenment, I will be able to break through the wall of climax and go all the way to the top.

It was very little. Very little indeed.

Stop by Jingju to get new martial arts skills. Hyeongju is a city where everything in the world gathers. Martial arts were also easy to obtain in Jingju.

It’s been a while since I visited the city, but nothing has changed. Ilakhyeon goes into the guesthouse to have a meal.

And then we witness a scene where Wen Jeomsoi is hit by a chair and loses consciousness.

It seemed that Jeomsoi’s name was Baek Han-yeong. When I talked to her, I found out that she was a really interesting person.

The fact that he was not the child of a prestigious family but of peasants was a flower garden in his head. He had a very kind heart. There wasn’t enough poison. By nature, he was a guy who shouldn’t do things like martial arts.

There are many children who admire the martial arts people, but in the end, the essence of the martial arts people was violence.

And no one in their right mind would use violence carelessly.

This is not something a child with a good heart can do.

However, it was also true that the world was too harsh for that good child to live in.

So, Ilakhyeon taught martial arts to Baek Hanyoung.

At first I didn’t think much of it. I was just planning to teach him a little martial arts and then leave.

Ilakhyeon, who taught Baek Hanyoung for about a month, is shocked.

It was all because Baek Han-young’s talent was beyond imagination.

Baek Han-young never forgets what he has taught. It means that your understanding is very excellent.

Does it end there? Those guys weren’t common, but they weren’t nonexistent. That means it’s not something to be scared of.

Then why were you scared?

Baek Han-young massaged Mu Gong as he pleased. Ilak-hyeon realized this when he made the Yukhap Geombeop into a sword method that can be freely changed according to the principles of Yukhap.

Right now, I might be teaching the best people of all time and modern times.

Baek Han-young grew up quickly after receiving the teachings of Ilak-hyeon. He said that in just less than a year after becoming a martial artist, he entered the first class.

However, that is only a relative evaluation, and in absolute terms, there was a problem with Baek Han-young’s growth.

Even though it was fast compared to others, it wasn’t fast from Baek Han-young’s perspective.

In Ilakhyeon’s opinion, Baek Hanyoung’s talent was not at this level. First-class in just one year? It’s not a joke, Ilak-hyeon would have been convinced even if the wall of Hwa-gyeong had been torn down.

To that extent, Baek Han-young’s talent was exceptional.

Ilakhyeon analyzed the cause. Identifying problems and finding solutions was his specialty.

In Ilak-hyeon’s opinion, the reason Baek Han-young’s growth was slow compared to his talent was all due to his personality.

I could tell just by looking at the way he was swinging the sword. Baek Han-young’s sword was lifeless.

This means that you are not using martial arts assuming you are going to kill someone.

Martial arts were originally created to harm people.

The essence of the six harmony, taegeuk, plum blossom, sky, etc. was not changed by adding such grand principles.

Even if you turn your attention to the essence and learn martial arts or create something new, there is no way you will be effective.

In the end, Baek Han-young was still stuck in the first class because his core strength was not up to par.

Ilak-hyeon burst into laughter as it looked similar to his own low-spirited self, but he and Baek Han-young were different.

In the end, your feelings will change depending on your mind.

There were many ways.

Ilakhyeon brought a dog from the neighborhood to change Baek Hanyoung’s mind.

In Ilak-Hyeon’s opinion, Baek Han-Young was not someone who couldn’t kill people.

Because I had a good heart, I wasn’t weak-hearted.

For him, it would have been harder to kill an animal for no reason than to kill a human who needed to be killed.

So, if she made the choice to kill the dog here, it was clear that there would be a change in Baek Han-young’s feelings.

He tells them to kill the dog. Baek Han-young hesitates. And he ends up not killing the dog.

It was something I expected, but it made me smile bitterly.

Because he was that kind of child, I taught him martial arts, and because he was that kind of child, I kept him with me until now, but I couldn’t help but worry about Baek Han-young’s future.

Still, it was okay. Because it was the teacher’s duty to make up for the student’s shortcomings.

A breakdown occurred in the middle of a long-term mission. Since it was a mistake on the part of the client, he returned to Jingju without hesitation, and heard that Baek Han-young had taken on a strange mission.

I visit Joo Gonghyeon’s family. By threatening him, he finds out Joo Gong-il’s destination.

Run straight to your destination. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my student.

As if his ominous premonition was correct, he was able to discover that the previous Demon Head, the Black Blood Demon, was threatening his disciple.

Block the black blood demon.

This guy’s incredible strength tightens my heart.

But it was okay.

Because his sword has now reached the Black Blood Demon as well.

There is only one thing that is disappointing.

Not being able to watch Baek Han-young grow.

Other than that, there was nothing I regretted anymore.

Cut off the black blood demon’s arm. It was a feat made possible by perfectly reading the guy’s movements.

But that’s it. Even though he avoided it, the guy’s aggressive skills shook his internal organs.

In the end, Ilryu could not defeat Hwakyung. It’s sad.

I see my student crying.

I knew I would have an accident someday. It’s not your fault. So don’t cry, disciple.

Rather, make up your mind.

You have the talent to change the world.

so… Youngah Han.

You must be healthy.

“Didn’t you ask what that bastard was?”

The black blood demon explodes with anger.

The teacher’s last words continue to linger in my mind.

Be determined. I thought endlessly about what that meant.

“The disciple and the teacher are all scumbags and trash. He wonders what he has done now… … .”

“Shut up.”

Pick up the sword. What the teacher said was right. I didn’t have anything like the talent of a martial artist.

It was a simple logic. I just learned martial arts as if I was studying it. I just analyzed it. I just studied.

There was no emotion involved.

I lacked the fighting spirit and the feeling of truly wanting to defeat my opponent.

My thoughts extend to martial arts. We unconsciously limit the possibilities of martial arts. limits growth. I judge this as my limit.

Circuses use very simple methods to tame elephants.

When elephants are young, before they grow up, they are tied to stakes. Then, the elephant remains tied to the stake even after it is fully grown. Even if you apply just a little bit of force, the stake can be pulled out.

It was all because I was bound by memories of not being able to escape from the stake when I was young.

It was the same for me too. I believed I had no talent. I believed that one should not truly intend to kill someone. It was like the price of living on a peaceful Earth for a long time.

Not anymore.

I had talent. It was guaranteed by the teacher and no one else.

It was okay to be genuinely prepared to kill someone. Even if it wasn’t okay, it didn’t matter.

No matter what anyone said, I had no intention of giving up this desire to kill the black blood demon in front of me.

“Both the disciple and the teacher are having a hell of a time!”

The black blood demon’s hands turn black. Beyond that, the world turns black. It was evidence that he used the Dark Ghost Hand, Jin Ohui, and Dark Heaven.

I also swing a sword. I gather all the martial arts I have learned so far into one point.

A black world overtakes me.

Next, the sword divides the world.

“Cough.”

A black blooded demon with its chest split in half looks at me in disbelief.

“Just now… “What kind of martial arts is this?”

I answered the question of the Black Blood Demon, who was losing his breath, while holding my teacher’s remains in my arms.

“Absolutely invincible and independent sword method.”

“Until the end, both teacher and disciple looked down on the person they had seen… … .”

The black blood demon’s body fell to the ground. After confirming that he was not breathing, I climbed up the mountain.

The remains of Yang Hu and Zhou Gong-il had to be recovered.

“You could say this is part 1 of my biography. “Does anyone have any questions?”

“Wait a minute, bro. Isn’t this the story of ? “Is this what you were talking about?”

“It’s an animation made by Barceal based on my story.”

“Then, rather than explaining it for so long, shouldn’t I just say that the story of ‘Turns Out I’m a Martial Genius’ is about my brother? “I think it would be neater.”

“… what.”

When I thought about it, it was like that.

… Could it be that I wasted my time?

No, guys?

Please say no.
